Just a quick example: If your ROD in VRS is say 2400 fpm (auto is around 1800 or so) that is 40 feet per second. So in your recovery it takes you 2 seconds to decide to lower the nose and it takes 5 seconds for the cyclic input to take effect and the airspeed to build beyond ETL, and 3 seconds to try and do something about your huge ROD. There goes 400 feet (or more) in 10 seconds.
In your example, if it takes 5 seconds for the cyclic to respond, how long would it take just to dump the collective? There is more than one way to escape the VRS.
